White
folks crazy. Indeed, someone who would pay $1,195 for a little toy sailboat
must be nuts, especially in 1972 money. But there is a reason why that sailboat
is for sale. It is there because somebody will probably buy it. And this was
Miss Moore’s lesson to the kids from a poor neighborhood. She was convinced
that income was distributed improperly and that it should be probably
redistributed properly, which is to say, more equally. The kids don’t really
get her point, except for Sugar, who seems the only who gets what “equal piece
of the pie” means. FAO Schwartz is a real store that was established in 1862
that specializes in exclusive toys. It still exists. However, today its most
expensive toy is $299 for a large teddy bear. It looks like things have changed,
after all.
